I WOULD like, dear children, for you to write a little verse. It may not be your first lesson in writing, but it is one of the first lessons you need to learn. It is;
If you fear the Lord and remember that He sees you at all times and knows the very thoughts of your hearts, it will keep you from doing things that are wrong and save you from many sorrows.
Then, it is true wisdom to obey God’s word.
Some little boys and girls think it is quite big to disobey their parents, but that is because they are not wise, for God says: “Children obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.” Col. 3:2020Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. (Colossians 3:20).
They think that if Papa or Mamma does not see them, or if there is no one around to tell what they have been doing, then it will be all right with them, but such actions will at some time end in sorrow.
So, dear children, fear the Lord; remember He is always looking at you, and if you do what is wrong, you have sinned against Him; go to Him and tell Him about it.
